hi, i observed some problems with monitoring pages:
apart from the fact that monitored pages are only fetched when -fetch is run (it would be nice to be able to only get monitored pages, and do fetching later (wwwoffle -monitor)?) pages in the monitor list are fetched after all others. this is wrong imho. because the point of monitoring is to make sure that i always have these pages updated. occasionally i don't have enough online time to complete the fetch and then i miss out on the monitored pages. in the process of this i also notices a bug. motitored pages are immideately marked as uptodate (in the monitor list) as soon as fetching starts. i checked the monitored list while online, satisfied that the pages where uptodate i went home, and then discovered that none of the monitored pages where updated. my current workaround is to move the outgoing dir out of the way, start fetch with an empty outgoing to get the monitor stuff, then move outgoing back and run fetch again. i also like to reorder the fetchrequests to get more important pages first. once i figured out that fetches are ordered bey the way they appear in the directory i am doing that now by moving the outgoing dir again, and then doing: grep -l "urgent" U* | sed 's/^U\(.*\)/\1/' | while read i; do echo $i; cp -a ?$i ../outgoing; done grep -l "need" U* | sed 's/^U\(.*\)/\1/' | while read i; do echo $i; cp -a ?$i ../outgoing; done egrep -lv "(urgend|need)" U* | sed 's/^U\(.*\)/\1/' | while read i; do echo $i; cp -a ?$i ../outgoing; done remains to say that wwwoffle is an amazing helper. to think that i used to write down urls in a file to remember to look at them when i have time... now i just click and forget, and search the cache later... greetings, martin. -- i am looking for a job anywhere in the world, doing pike programming, caudium/pike/roxen training, roxen/caudium and/or unix system administration. -- pike programmer Traveling in Singapore (www|db).hb2.tuwien.ac.at unix (iaeste|bahai).or.at (www.archlab|iaeste).tuwien.ac.at systemadministrator (stuts|black.linux-m68k).org mud.at is.(schon.org|root.at) Martin B"ahr http://www.iaeste.or.at/~mbaehr/
